Read some good case studies that gave me more info about my particular back issues than any medic in last 20 yrs has given...it is a supplement to use to question your doc to probe different ideas, not to be used to self medicate. I don't know many who do that.

.....but the video actually says more about viral marketing and google bombing than how much dr google is right/wrong. Some great tips I can put to use for my products.

I think the videos main point was that Dr. Google has proven to be very dodgy and dangerously influential in a lot a cases. I thought Dr. Jesse was saying that that is wrong.

Parents supposedly not getting their children vaccinated because some celebrity (self- appointed expert)on the internet is against it is not the best method for decision making.

Generally, I see no reason why a lot of ancedotal evidence counter to the scientific orthodoxy of the day should not be regarded as statistical evidence for scientists to have a rethink.

Doctor Google has family in other trades too.

I was re-doing my whole bathroom, moved the toilet about 4 metres away and asked a plumber for some advice. He wouldn't advise me so I found out from Plumber Google that the angle of the sewer (100m pvc) should not be angled at more than 2 deg otherwise the shit separates from the water. Thanks Plumber Google, saved myself lots of money on a job well done.,,and no blockages.

I have also been advised by Brewer Google when making different varieties of beer...I even fixed my oven by getting the service manual and tips from Appliance Technician Google.

Good bunch of people those Googles

A little off-topic but a good read all the same......

If you rely on Google, you could easily diagnose yourself with all sorts of ailments. Always go to a medical expert. If you don't believe what they diagnose, get a second and third opinion from other medical experts. I work with a lady who looked on Google and diagnosed herself to have leukemia. Having had friends who have had it, I knew for a fact she didn't. That is the problem with pulling a couple of symptoms out of the air and looking on Google.
